Video: BMW teams up with 'Mission Impossible' for 2018 M5 cameo

For his latest impossible mission, fictional secret agent Ethan Hunt is turning to BMW for help.

In this summer’s upcoming “Mission Impossible: Fallout,” the eighth installment in the popular action movie franchise, one of Hollywood’s favorite super spies will find himself behind the wheel of shiny new M5, among other offerings from BMW.

In the series’ newest sequel, Hunt and his team find themselves in a race against time after a mission gone wrong. Luckily, thanks to a partnership between BMW and Paramount Pictures that dates back to 2011’s “Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol,” the IMF agency is reinforced by a number of models from the German automaker that also includes the 1986 5 Series Sedan, the flagship 7 Series Sedan and the R nineT Scrambler motorcycle.

“BMW and ‘Mission: Impossible’ are a perfect fit,” said Uwe Dreher, head of Brand Communications BMW, BMW M, BMW i. “We are proud of our long-running partnership with Paramount Pictures and that our powerful cars and motorcycles have been able to enhance this iconic film series time and again.”

This summer's "Mission Impossible: Fallout" will feature the all-new M5 and a number of other BMW models.

The prominently featured M5 is set to make an appearance styled with BMW’s M Performance Parts that include a black kidney grille and carbon-fiber mirror caps. However, it’s that powerful twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 engine under the hood that we think will come in handy for saving the world.

BMW will also launch a global “Mission to Thrill” marketing campaign to promote both the film and its lineup.

“We are excited to welcome BMW back as a partner on ‘Mission: Impossible Fallout,’” said Irene Trachtenberg, Senior Vice President of Worldwide Marketing Partnerships, Paramount Pictures. “Our partnership with BMW provides a global platform to reach Mission: Impossible movie fans around the world and leverage our mutual passion for technological innovation, high octane action and compelling storytelling.”

“Mission Impossible: Fallout” hits theaters July 27th. The 2018 BMW M5’s 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 puts out 600 horsepower, which powers it from 0-60 mph in just 3.2 seconds, and with the optional M Driver’s Package, can reach 124 mph in 11.1 seconds on its way to a top speed of 189 mph.
